This is probably the best of the Tin Man lineup, but it still leaves much to be desired.

Appearance: Ruby red and clear, not much of a head though.

Smell: Roasted and sweet, pleasant

Taste: It had some flavor, not enough. Kind of watery, but with a nice hoppy bitterness. For the style, it really lacked the body and malt support to be a good Irish red.

Mouthfeel: Dry and watery, not much to go on.

Overall: I seriously disliked every other beer at this brewery, this one was OK, but at $4 a pint I could be drinking much better beers. This was probably the best they had to offer. I could see myself enjoying it ice-cold on a hot day, but really, I can say that about any beer.

Serving type: on-tap

Pours from the pint can an attractive ruby-amber, with a fine head of off-white suds. Superb and thick spider-web lacing. Nice!

Nose is caramel malts, biscuity, and toffee-like. Not bad.

Taste is chewy toffee maltiness, with a little toasty caramel in there. This one is easy to drink, and probably my favorite of Tin Man's initial 3 canned offerings.

What a disappointment. I really want to like this new brewery in my town, but they are undershooting hard.

Looked like a Killians smelled like a killians taste like a killians. The mouthfeel of an irish red was just as watered down as a killians. i think malt i think some mouthfeel and this was lighter than water.

A - Distinctive color giving the appearance of a promising "Red"

S - The promise of the appearance was not met with the scent. Lacked depth.

T - Average at best. The caramel was faint.

F - Thin. Not watery, but not complete.

O - The spark that you expect from successful Micro Brews was lacking. Rivet is worth a second chance, but there are better options. That being said, the atmosphere at the brewery / eatery is inviting.

Serving type: on-tap
